Selective and sensitive quantification of wine biogenic amines using a dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up/concentration method

Abstract

Biogenic amines exist in numerous foods, including wine. They can have aliphatic (putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, and spermidine), aromatic (tyramine and phenylethylamine) and heterocyclic structure (histamine and tryptamine). In wine, the biogenic amines have three possible origins, they can be present in the grape juice, can be formed during alcoholic fermentation by yeasts, or during malolactic fermentation by the action of lactic acid bacteria that can decarboxylate amino acids present in wine. Therefore, the main request for the formation of biogenic amines is the presence of free amino acids, the existence of decarboxylase-positive microorganisms, and environmental conditions that permit bacterial growth and decarboxylase synthesis and activity [1]. In low levels, biogenic amines contribute to physiological functions like regulation of stomach pH, body temperature, or brain activity. Nevertheless, the ingestion of wines comprising high levels of biogenic amines, numerous toxicological effects may happen for example headaches, nausea, and in severe situations intracerebral hemorrhage or even death [2].
Monitoring the existence of these compounds in wine is essential, not only from the toxicological perspective but also as an indicator of wine spoilage [3]. In this work, a simple dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) was developed for sample clean-up and pre-concentration of biogenic amines in wine. The dSPE using a strong cation exchange resin increased the selectivity and sensitivity of the analysis by elimination of interfering compounds and a five-fold enrichment of biogenic amines. The derivatization with benzoyl chloride and then the extraction with diethyl ether steps were optimized. HPLC with diode array detector was used as an analytical technique and this method was validated for twelve biogenic amines – ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, putrescine, cadaverin, typtamine, b-phenylethylamine, amylamine, spermidine, hexylamine, spermine, and histamine. The method presented an adequate precision and linearity with detection limits ranging from 0.133 to 0.509 mg/L. Recoveries ranging from 72 to 99% prove the accuracy of the method for determining biogenic amines in red, white, and Tawny Port wine samples yielding chromatograms clean from interferents [4]. The method was applied successfully to the analysis of 31 young commercial red wines from the 2016 vintage collected in wineries located in different Portuguese demarcated wine regions. The dSPE method developed is a simple, cheap, quick, and green sample clean-up strategy for biogenic amine analysis. Increasing their selective and sensitive UV detection, the more used detector in liquid chromatography. The results indicated that this method is suitable for the intended purpose with a good recovery, precision, detection, and quantification limits, and with a suitable range for the amounts of biogenic amines existing in wine.

Swiss program for the creation of fungal disease resistant grape varieties in Switzerland

Grapevine breeding is part of the research program of Agroscope in Switzerland since 1965. From 1965 to 1995, the aim of the Vitis vinifera crosses was to obtain a high resistance to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea), one of the most virulent fungal pathogens in the Swiss vineyard. In 2021, the grape varieties released from this first breeding program covered 936 ha of the 15’000 ha of the Swiss vineyard.
In 1996, a second breeding program aimed at obtaining, by classical interspecific hybridization, grape varieties resistant to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erisyphe necator) and less sensitive to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea). In order to accelerate and make the selection process more reliable, an early biochemical test was developed based on the natural defense mechanisms of the vine against downy mildew (stilbene phytoalexins). The synthesis of stilbenes (i.e., resveratrol and its oxidized dimers - and -viniférine) and pterostilbenes (methylated derivative) is among the most efficient induced defense mechanisms of grapevine against fungal pathogens on both the leaves and the clusters.

Heatwaves impacts on grapevine physiology, berry chemistry & wine quality

Climate change impacts on both yields and quality have increased over the past decades, with the effects of extreme climate events having the most dramatic and obvious impacts. Increasing length and intensity of heatwaves associated with increased water stress necessitates a reevaluation of climate change responses of grapevine and, ultimately, a reconsideration of vineyard management practices under future conditions. Here we summarize results from a three-year field trial manipulating irrigation prior to and during heatwave events to assess impacts of water application rates on vine health and physiology, berry chemistry, and wine quality. We also highlight potential mitigation strategies for extreme heat, both in terms of water application, as well as other cultural practices that could be widely applicable.

Could intermittent shading, as produced in agrivoltaics, mitigate global warming effects on grapevine?

Global warning increases evaporative demand and accelerates grapevine phenology. As a consequence, the ripening phase shifts to warmer and drier periods. This results in lower acidity and higher sugar levels in berries, yielding too alcoholic wines with altered organoleptic properties. Agrivoltaics, which combines crop and renewable energy production on the same land using photovoltaic panels, emerged as a promising innovation to counteract these impacts by partially shading the plants.

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry: a promising technology for the high throughput phenotyping of grape berry volatilome

Wine grapes breeding has been concentrating a lot of efforts within the grape research community over the last decade. The quick phenotyping of genotype quality traits including aroma composition remains challenging. Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS), a technology first available in 2008 and developing rapidly, could be particularly valuable for this usage. The aims of this study were i) to use SIFT-MS, to analyze the whole volatilome from different grape varieties, ii) to assess the ability of this technology to discriminate varieties according to their grape aroma composition, and iii) to study the stability of SIFT-MS signal over maturation to define a sampling strategy.

VITIGEOSS Business Service: Task scheduling optimization in vineyards

Agriculture plantations are complex systems whose performance critically depends on the execution of several types of tasks with precise timing and efficiency to respond to different external factors. This is particularly true for orchards like vineyards, which need to be strictly monitored and regulated, as they are sensitive to diverse types of pests, and climate conditions. In these environments, managing and optimally scheduling the available work force and resources is not trivial and is usually done by teams of senior managers based on their experience. In this regard, having a baseline schedule could help them in the decision process and improve their results, in terms of time and resources spent.
